Gradient-Based Algorithms for Finding Nash Equilibria in Extensive Form Games
We present a computational approach to the saddle-point formulation for the Nash equilibria of two-person, zero-sum sequential games of imperfect information. The algorithm is a ...

A Distributed Maximal Scheduler for Strong Fairness
Abstract. Weak fairness guarantees that if an action is continuously enabled, it is executed infinitely often. Strong fairness, on the other hand, guarantees that actions that are...

A Pseudopolynomial Time O (log n )-Approximation Algorithm for Art Gallery Problems
In this paper, we give a O(log copt)-approximation algorithm for the point guard problem where copt is the optimal number of guards. Our algorithm runs in time polynomial in n, the...

Small Space Representations for Metric Min-Sum k -Clustering and Their Applications
The min-sum k-clustering problem is to partition a metric space (P, d) into k clusters C1, . . . , Ck ⊆ P such that k i=1 p,q∈Ci d(p, q) is minimized. We show the first effi...
